Blackbird

Here's a tag made for Hels Sunday Stamper challenge 198 with the theme of Blackbirds.

The background is a Distress Ink one I made a while back - think it was the last wiping up of the ink from another project so it is quite pale.....but waste not, want not!! The Blackbird and Let Your Heart Sing are from one Chocolate Baroque stamp (I just masked out the middle) and then added some Crafty Individuals grasses in the foreground.

I know Blackbirds can be noisy, but it's a sure sign of Spring. I have a pair in my garden so hopefully there'll be some flying lessons to watch in the not too distant future!! Enjoy the weather whatever you are up to!

  1. I love the subtle background, makes the blackbird look even more striking. Those grass stamps look really useful. Nice sentiment too.
